What do I do if a patient refuses to wear their mask?

May 22, 2020

If you see someone not wearing a mask, remind him or her that masking is in place for everyone's protection. If they still refuse to wear a mask, reiterate that our current COVID-19 guidelines state that in order to enter and stay in the building, one must wear a mask. If you need additional support, please see guidelines.
